I must say once again how impressed I am with the service I get from Wearcheck. I dropped off this sample at 10am Monday morning and by 2:40 that afternoon I got the results online! I'm also lucky that they are located just a 5 minute drive from my work, so I am able to just drop samples off directly there instead of putting them in the mail.
